I love this Pose! It's I think for a more dynamic class and an advanced practitioner. I offer holding 3 point down dog with the knee bent rather than taking it back into wild thing for those not ready or wanting to do this pose. If anyone hurts themselves doing yoga they are not really "doing yoga" only attempt poses within you limits, I've been practising for over 20 years and have never injured myself and am always shocked to hear of those that have.

I was doing this on the Willpower challenge, but I couldn't do it with my right arm down. Come to find out that it is contraindicated for anyone with rotator cuff issues--and I tore the right rotator cuff a couple of years ago. Is there a safer pose that might have similar benefits? (Note: I am 67).

There is nothing wrong with the posture! It's simply the way an individual moves into or out of it or just not being physically able - not bendy enough in all the right places - but doing it anyway.

Michael

I despise this pose- it wrecked my shoulder after flowing in and out of it in a class!

Capri

I did this pose without warming up because my body was craving it. Wasn't very mindful... and I'm pretty sure I popped a rib or sprained a intercostal muscle or something! Its so sad because now I can hardly breathe or laugh without it hurting. Not sure what happened and haven't seen a doctor....yet......if i must....

Palani

Please let me know, if people who having back and neck pain can do this pose?

Christi

This has become one of my favorite poses......looks and feels awesome

Donna

I dislocated my shoulder attempting this pose. Not good if you have a prior shoulder injury.

jacqueline

adore this pose!

Arthur

My favorite pose right now! And not as hard as it looks. Seeing how its done definitely helps, not exactly a pose you should attempt blindly.
